Ratcliffe College is an independent Catholic boarding and day school in Leicestershire, England. The College, situated on the Fosse Way about six miles north of Leicester, was founded on the instructions of Father Antonio Rosmini-Serbati in 1845 as a seminary. In 1847, the buildings were converted for use as a boarding school for middle-class boys. The College became coeducational under the Presidency of Father Tony Baxter in the mid 1970s, and there are now around 630 students on roll at Ratcliffe, from ages 3-18.
